DIEDERICH F. FULLE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

PlLLOW-SHAM SUPPORT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 332,195, dated December 8, 1885.

Application filed April 17, 1885. Serial No. 162,574.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DIEDERIOH F. FULLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York,

have invented new and useful Improvements to render the various parts adjustable are fully pointed out in the following specification and claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan or top view of my improved adjustable pillow-sham. Fig. 2 is an inverted plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is an end view, part in section.

Similarletters indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, the letter A designates the body of my pillow-sham support, which consists of two separate parts, a a, both of which arelongitudinally adjustable on a guidebar, B, provided with a longitudinal slot, b. To render the parts a a adjustable, they are connected with the guide-bar B by set-screws 0, extending through the parts and the slot in the guide-bar; and in order to prevent the former from swinging around about the setscrews, guides c are secured to the parts, and extend into the aforesaid slot in the guidebar.

D are the legs, pivoted to the bottom of the body A, or otherwise secured so that they can turn about the points of attachment, and in order to adjust these legs each is attached to one end of one of the arms E, each of which is provided on its other end with a slot, 1, which is engaged by one of the set-screws C, before described.

When fitting my pillow-sham support to a sham, the device can be first nearly adjusted to the proper length by drawing apart the two parts of the body, or vice versa, and then the legs can be turned about their points of attachment until nearly in a proper position to correspond to the breadth of the sham, and then the sham can be slipped over the support; or, if desired, the sham can be slipped on the support in the first place, and the lat ter then be adjusted. The legs extend into pockets formed in each corner of the sham.

(No model.)

In order to draw the sham smoothly upon the support, I construct the parts a a of the body so that they. can be turned somewhat about the guides c,in case the sham is not truly rectangular or distorted. This is accomplished by having a slot, 6, in each part at the point where the set-screw 0 passes through each of the respective parts.

The object of my invention is to provide a pillow-sham support which can be adapted to any size of pillow-sham, and by means of which it can be drawn smoothly upon the support, no matter how irregular or distorted the form of the sham may be, so as to present a pleasing appearance to the eye, while the sham and support can be removed from the bed without disturbing or ruffling the sham.

WVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A pillowsham support consisting of a guide-bar, B, sections a a, adjustable along the length of the bar, legs D, pivoted to swing on the sections for adjusting the legs to the breadth of the pillow-sham, and means, substantially as described, for holding the parts in their adjusted position.

2. The combination, with the divided body, of the legs secured to the body, the slotted guide-bar, the guides on the body engaging the slot in the guide-bar, the slots formed in the body, and the set-screws extending through the slots in the body and the slotin the guidebar, for adj ustably securing the body, substan tially as shown and described.

3. The combination, with the divided body, of the slotted guidebar, guides on the bar engaging the guide-bar, the slots formed in the body, the legs pivoted to the body, the slotted arms attached to the legs and pivoted to the frame in the slotted portion, and the set-screws extending through the slots in the body, the slot in the guide-bar, and the slots in the arms, for adj ustably securing the body and the legs, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

DIEDERIOH F. FULLE.
